The business-model tag has no tag wiki and 12 questions, 5 of which are already closed and most of the rest of which deserve to be closed.

Some of the questions are using the tag for general questions about various kinds of business models (which has nothing whatsoever to do with programming), and some of the questions appear to be about domain modeling.

I dont understand how is this tag got on stack-overflow in the first place...

altexsoft.com/blog/business/… business models affect software development architectures so it's not completely irrelevant? For eg paid vs premium apps will need custom gradle files/deployments in android. if someone asked about that wouldn't they tag it business model?

The title question is a good one. Perhaps he plunders the burninated villages? Maybe he gets 'protection money' from the villages he doesn't burninate? Maybe he burninates villages for hire? Perhaps some combination of these? To answer the real question: Sounds like it's time to hire Trogdor for this tag.

@reirab "Sounds like it's time to hire Trogdor for this tag." which would be his business model, I guess.

You could contact me — see my profile. But if there's only twelve questions, there's not much need for combined effort; one person can untag 12 questions quite quickly, even with appropriate editing. But I'll help.

@JonathanLeffler Thanks, only need a second trusted user to support the concept (as a sanity check I imagine, it's in the rules), and now I have it. Unless this answer gathers a substantial amount of downvotes or disagreeing comments before tomorrow, I'll go ahead and do it myself since it's not that much work.

This is the only question I see in that list that might not be close worthy. It's about a specific task using a specific software development tool. I'm still skeptical of its quality, but it seems to be basically on topic and I don't know the tool to say otherwise.

Agreed. Note that everyone can contribute to cleanup before burnination. You can review the filtered close queue using this link. Most have 2-3 votes already, so if 3 more people review them they might all be gone.

Looking at the comment from @jpmc26 under the question, there are chances that the tag will be created again. Shouldn't this be black listed as well?

@AmitJoshi Since this tag has only 12 questions in 10 years, and you can't recreate it with less than 1.5K rep, I don't think that's the case. Let's just wait and see if it becomes a problem again. I also routinely check the tools to nip tags like this in the bud if they get recreated, if I see it popping up multiple times I might pursue a blacklist.

What about this question? It has only one tag. OP cannot delete it because answer is up voted. Answer is very close to Link Only; but I am not 100% sure.
– Amit JoshiMay 31 at 10:26

@jpmc26: It's now the last one left. We need a domain expert to decide what to do. I could just clear the tag, but that doesn't really help.
– JoshuaMay 31 at 17:42

@Joshua Bhargav removed the tag. I think that was the right call. We can try to find someone to evaluate the quality of it if we want; maybe we could reach out to some chat rooms. But whether we find someone or not, we're still going to remove the tag. Of course it's less than ideal if we can't do a more thorough clean up, but we're no worse off than before by having it there.
